So how did George start out? 👶

As a teen, George had been dubbed a bit of a wonderkid, having worked for NASA 🚀 and finishing his Math Bachelor’s at Stanford in 2.5 years.

He was then a funded PhD student at Stanford studying math and was one of the only math students that actually wanted to teach for a living.
